2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
[1061-20080124] Tap @ Scallywags (Toronto, ON). Faint yeasty grains aroma. Clear, pale yellow brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Yeasty bread grains flavour has a hint of floral in the finish, but a few sips later just blends everything into alcohol. Light body is thin. Surprisingly not unpleasant on tap -- just seemed like a perfect scallywag beer to get.
Memory: While not a first choice beverage, my sister used to bring these to parties anyway to ensure no-one else was pilfering her stash throughout the evening...

11.5oz bottle. Pours clear golden in color with white head. Aroma of malt and grassy. Taste of malty and very lite grassy hops with dry finish. Not a bad drinking beer.

Probably one of the best brews to come from the Labatt line of beers. If you’re expecting a good macro ale thats what you get. clean and non offensive

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2010 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a pale yellow color with a small white head. The aroma was lightly sweet tangy industrial brew. The flavor was dry and a bit tangy with a note of cardboard. There was remarkably little body and a chewy cardboard finish.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Blah..I don’t like golden/blond ales much as it is and this is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Slight hint of sugar and sweet malt in the aroma, with just a hint of bread. Pour was a light gold with a one finger white head. Taste was very thin and watery. Could pick up hints of rice(?) and sweet malt but seemed to change to water mid sip. This is awful.

Smells of nice sweet malts. Pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Tastes like a fairly generic ale, but nice considering its from labatt
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle in sampler set from Sam’s. Poured golden color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Medium sweet grassy hoppy aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. My expectations were met.

Twist off cap for a decent cooked bread yeasty aroma. In glass some permanent hair treatment smells arise, but it is still rather clean. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and appearance. Good tingly carbonation greets the palate. The taste is clean and fun with little offensive impressions, if any. Almost as tasty as many ’wheat’ beers that I have had in the past. Some hop bitterness begins to build thru the session but for the most part it is well controlled. Finishes with a mildly processed lager attribute. Overall not bad. Not as good as North Country Northern Lite. On par with Rivertowne Golden Mountie and certainly much better than Kochs Golden Anniversary Beer.
